Dies to Removal

gayest slogan ever

I had either that option or "Team Dream Crush."

Which do you think is better?

Serenity Games, one of the stores I play at, is sponsoring me tomorrow for GP Orlando. All I have to do is wear a black polo, which says Serenity Games on the left breast and underneath the logo (which is a silhouette of River holding the swords from the Serenity movie poster) it says "Aiming to misbehave," for the weekend. For that I get my entry paid and all the sleeves and cards I'll need to use for...well, whenever. Also, unlimited free entries into FNMs at the store (which I'll undoubtedly x-2!).

I definitely plan on wearing it to whichever strip club I end up at Saturday night.

Nice, dude. Congrats on that. Here's hoping you do well.

Thanks, Dechs. I'll probably scrump out in the main event because I'm not very good at limited. In fact, I probably should've spent this last week asking people like Kait, LP, and Zem for advice on limited strategies and Khans sealed.

It's an 8xmultiplier on PW points, so I'll try to stick it out for as long as I can and play my best, but I do have my other decks at the ready for side events.

I'll put the call out now: do anyone have any good advice for me on Khans sealed? And no, I'm not gonna force mono red like the scrump that I am.

Follow your fixing. Playing anywhere from 2-5 colors is fine, as long as it's dictated by your pool.

Try to study all the morphs. I don't think anything leads to a blowout before 5 mana as far as trading goes, so that's notworthy.

I think I heard this from PSully, but it makes sense: when your opponent plays a morph, the first one they play is probably second best and the second one they play will be the better morph creature since you'd generally not want to risk getting your best dude killed early for no value.

Evasion be it flying, trample, whatever is at a premium because of all the board stalls that happen.

Going second in general seems MUCH BETTER then going first in this format. Gotta hit those land land drops. Speaking of land, the exact numbers between land and banners, I'm personally unsure of, but I'd play no less then 17, and up to 21 sources of mana between lands and rocks depending on my curve, and 90% of the time, I want to be in the 18/19 land range.

Remember to sideboard. Sideboarding in limited isn't just bringing in plummets. It's boarding out your 2/2s when they're deck is all 2/3s, and boarding out lands on the draw when you know games are gonna go super long to prevent flooding.

In general, I'm not a fan of agro in sealed, but Mardu has some sweet cards, and depending on your pool, know that pulling the trigger on the aggressive deck can be the right choice sometimes.

What's the trophy going to look like, Spam? A scrump face?

Also, LP, your advice is invaluable. Thank you.

I'll most likely play in some GPT's tomorrow to get a feel for Khans limited. It couldn't hurt. But they do have a $20 Modern event that I have my eye on at 4 pm....

That deck seriously looks like a nightmare

Hopping off the tempo train, the deck is just not for me. Gonna wait for Pro Tour to find a deck I enjoy

Word. Not feeling it at all.

I really like Dig Through Time, just want to play that.

gayest slogan ever

They must have been all out of "Frog among toads" t shirts.

I am a leaf on the wind.

well if my very old custom title counts as a slogan then i guess this is some sort of insult

but the fact that you remembered it and I already forgot what I called gay says a lot

A spurn among scrumps

spurn me once, shame on me

spurn me twice, shame on me

"Mall" must be an Arabic word that means: "place where we put everything to do." Ice rinks, aquariums, dinosaurs, amusement parks, restaurants, ski resorts... Oh, and shops.

he dropped his DTR sponsor so he could get a second article per year

Zem's gone rogue

Zem's gone full zemmer

You never go full zemmer


Kaze went full zemmer and look what happened to him

Kaze went full spurned

His mom took his laptop away because he wouldn't pay any bills

Are you saying Kaze spurned Kaze?

You think its that different than the old boros burn?

I played it at Wednesday Night Magic and it felt pretty similar to me.

You also can play Dig Through Time in it...

it's a weaker version of the deck for a weaker standard

It's a forgotten relic of a bygone age

I'm in a seedy bar in Orlando pounding rum and cokes, getting ready to part with 2 edh decks to raise some serious funds

I was starting to feel sad about doing this until I realized my mana crypts were at $175 each

Fuck EDH

I will be buying a pack foil Goblin Guide today though

Must complete the set

If you're gonna scrump, scrump in style

I think it is much different than Boros Burn. Boros Burn was a lot better deck, and at the time you really had to dedicate some SB slots to it to really improve a matchup against Burn. My issue with tempo: Rabblemaster is really not that great in this deck, because often times it will be the only creature on the board. I think it is MUCH easier to SB hate for the tempo deck compared to Boros Burn. People locally are running Feed the Clan/Bow and 3-4 Arbor Colossus. The current format just also has an absurb amount of lifegain. Tempo is much weaker to Thoughtseize (lilliana, despise) than Boros Burn. Also, the mana base isn't BAD, but it causes you to keep really akward hands due to the fact this deck is much weaker on a mulligan than boros burn was.

Brimaz could easily be better than Rabble.

Why do you think its so much easier to sideboard for it??

What bar? There are tons of (awesome) seedy bars in Orlando that I used to frequent.

maybe redthirst is there shooting people

So I have a feeling that we are getting Ghostfire later in this block, does it have any play in standard when and if it shows?

i was referring to the hilarious time redthirst said his bouncing duties included gun fights with gang members

If red decks are missing a 3 damage burn spell, Ghostfire may play a role, but it's awfully expensive unless there is a cycle of good creatures with protection in the 2nd set.

Admittedly I never read his posts.

Shootings happen at those clubs and, when they do, Security generally shoots back... don't really know what you find so hilarious about that.

I'm flattered you remembered, though, and could be bothered to take the time out of your busy schedule of doing more for this site than anyone to spurn me... especially tonight of all nights when you've got to go get ready to be a card shop hero. I hope this diversion doesn't cause you to go X-2 at FNM and lose the respect of your fellow scrumpers.
